Our world is changing faster than most of us can keep up. The idea of learning, unlearning and then learning something new seems like such a daunting proposition, but it doesn’t have to be. The beauty of technology is that a lot of it exists to make the normal easier, freeing up more time to become better, smarter, faster and stronger. You don’t need to want those things, as it is not a prerequisite for life, but if you do want those things, tech seems like a total lifeline.

And there are things in our lives that are so totally normal, that we simply do them without question or hesitation. We sleep, we eat, we shower (hopefully), we drive, we play, we get sick and we age. And while some smart technology seems silly and novel (and we agree, a lot of it is nonsense), there are some amazing gadgets that came out of CES this year that actually do help with your day-to-day in truly inventive ways. So, here are the top 10 coolest and most useful pieces of technology available to you now (or very soon):

You can make every key its own colour, or create patterns. And that, while simply an aesthetic feature, is super-cool.
